The Ming family has a daughter, whose childhood name is Danshu.
Bright as the morning glow, radiant as a lotus.
The emperor's wrath turned all her splendor to ash.
The noble daughter was cast adrift and ended up with a troupe of performers.
A venomous heart behind a beautiful face.
The cruel ways of the world nurtured her ambition.
Eight years later, the new emperor held his wedding.
Ming Danshu entered the palace as a musician.
In a single day, she became the emperor's consort, and the most favored woman in the six palaces.
Court officials risked death to denounce her as a wicked consort who brought ruin to the country.
Yet writers and poets composed a thousand poems in her honor.
Emperor Qi Cheng spent his life in diligence and self-restraint. His only failing:
He let Consort Ming meddle in politics, allowing her entire family to wield power over the court.
Reader's Guide:
1. The emperor is not a virgin, and he is not blinded by love!
2. The heroine is a beautiful lunatic: calculating, capable, ruthless, and willing to play the villain! She is no paragon of virtue! She keeps a low profile to protect herself at first, then gradually grows stronger.
3. A classic palace-intrigue and power-struggle story, with a touch of an ensemble cast: the victor takes all! Set in an ancient world, but with a very loose historical basis! Early plot threads gradually pick up speed.
4. There are countless great stories on Jinjiang. If this one isn't to your taste, feel free to say goodbye. Please don't attack each other in the comments.
Theme: Work hard to build a better life.
The ending was so sudden. I thought that the plot and ending would be that Jiang Shan and the heroine Qi Yu both got it, but it turned out to be... The ending was that after the struggle for power, the winner was the king and the loser was the enemy. The character of the emperor in his early days was quite heartwarming for the heroine. After discovering his selfishness and unrighteousness, the heroine quickly drew a line. What happened later proved that she made every move correctly. If there was even a hint of softness towards the dog emperor, Danshu and the Ming family would end up even worse. Compared to the heart-warming novel about the imperial concubine, the character portrayal in this novel is a little more subtle. I really want to see the winner of the palace/government fight have a good love ending in the end.
Both the male and female protagonists are career-minded, but I still want to watch He, but I feel like something is missing...
Why are you stuck here? Did Wu Feiyi and Dan Shu have any connection before? It's good to put some external pressure on the emperor. There are so many women in the emperor's harem.
Can you please add more and let Danshu go out of the palace with the emperor? I don't want Danshu to be alone, she is too lonely.
This game of chess is getting more and more confusing
Do you want to update this book? I really want to see the next plot www.
Please update it. It feels so uncomfortable.
Wasn't it promised that there would be a sequel? Will it be updated again?
At the end of the day, the heroine is still suitable for being beautiful!!!
This is a heroine who is dedicated to her career. I love her so much!
